Probably a hormonal disbalance, more details are needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There are many medical conditions related to spotting and abdominal pain.

The common cause can be a hormonal disbalance.

It can also be a sign of an early pregnancy.

More details are needed to help me through the diagnosis.

Are you sexually active?

Are you trying to get pregnant?

Has this happened before?

Do you have any other medical condition or are you taking any treatment?

I will be waiting for your response to be able to help you better.

Meanwhile,I can only suggest to use a noninflammatory medication such as Acetominophen 500 mg three times a day for the pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
